If JD bought it or Case it would probably ok, if cat they would rebrand it CAT like the tractors and trucks they already make. Cummings would also be a choice based on monies

Case-IH is not an American company. It's incorporated in the Neatherlands and controlled by Fiat.

Case was last an American company when it belonged to Tenneco (1967-1999).

Tenneco bought Case in 1967, International Harvester's agricultural unit in 1984, and Steiger Tractor in 1986. Then Case-IH was merged into New Holland in 1999 under a new parent (CNH Global) controlled by Fiat.

Ford bought Sperry New Holland in 1986 (Sperry Corporation* had purchased New Holland in the 1947).

Ford got out of the agricultural and light construction business in 1991. They sold their majority interest in Ford New Holland to Fiat under the agreement that the Ford name would be dropped in 10 years. So now its just New Holland, not Ford New Holland.

*Sperry, an example of American know-how, was the inventor of the gyrostabilizer and gyrocompass for marine applications, the "auto pilot" for aircraft and many other cutting edge devices.
